PH 361 - Physics ofMaterials 3

Institution:

Milwaukee School of Engineering

Subject:

Description:

This course begins with an in-depth discussion of the structure of the atomand the nucleus, as well as other quantumphysics concepts.Material properties, such as hardness and ductility, are explained by examining the crystal structure ofmaterials. The band structure ofmaterials is discussed, and used to explain the wide range of electrical conductivities and optical absorption properties of conducting, semiconducting, insulating and superconductingmaterials. The magnetic properties ofmaterials are also examined in some detail. The laboratory portion of the course is designed to give the student hands-on experience in determining various fundamental properties ofmaterials, such as atomic and crystal structure, optical emission and absorption, electrical conductivity, x-ray emission and absorption and nuclear decay. This course cannot be taken for credit by students who have credit for PH-250. This course is designated as a laptop course. (prereq: CH-100 or CH-200 or CH-310, PH-123 or ET-3201,MA-128 orMA-129, ET-2550 or equivalent)
